Question

An atom of an element X having 6 protons, 8 neutrons and 6 electrons. a) Draw it's atomic structure.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ans. The rules for writing of distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements are:

(i) The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is formula—2n2

n = orbit number i.e., 1, 2, 3

Maximum number of electrons in different shells are:

K shell n = 1 2n2 ⇒ 2(1)2 = 2

L shell n = 2 2n2 ⇒ 2(2)2 = 8

M shell n = 3 2n2 ⇒ 2(3)2 = 18

N shell n = 4 2n2 ⇒ 2(4)2 = 32
